@...cajun007: Louisiana's most famous syrup was born from a freeze that should've ruined a farmer 🍯 In 1910 an early freeze hit Charley Steen's sugar cane in Abbeville. Rather than lose the crop, he rigged a small mill and cooked the juice into a few barrels of syrup. Neighbors started hauling their cane to his mill. By 1930 the Steens built a bigger mill on Bayou Vermilion, and by the 1950s the yellow can was in nearly every South Louisiana pantry. The family still runs it today.
